INTRODUCTION 


E have always believed there is a demand for first-class work in every 
line, and it is this demand in tanks and towers that we have sought to 
supply. That our efforts have been successful is attested by the fact 
that our business has grown from a small local trade to one that now 
reaches into every State and Territory in the United States, and beyond 

to Canada, Cuba and South America. Our quarters have necessarily grown with the 
business until we nowoccupy a plant that covers nearly ten acres—the largest in 
the country devoted exclusively to the manufacture of tanks and towers. This 
plant is equipped with every modern and labor-saving machine used in such work, 
and enables us to manufacture our product with the minimum of expense and 
time. 

One of the principal factors in our success has been the continued use of 
Louisiana Cypress woodinour tanks. The durability of this wood is marvelous, 
and we were the first outside of its native State to appreciate its value for tank 
purposes. But this has now become a matter of general knowledge. The best 
authorities agree that it is from fifty to one hundred per cent more durable than 
any othér employed in the manufacture of tanks. The reason for this is gene- 
rally attributed to the fact that the wood is in its natural element when used asa 
tank, because it grows right in the water in swamps and bayous. 

Aside from its remarkable lasting qualities, Cypress has many other proper- 
ties that make it especially suitable for tank purposes. It shrinks and swells 
much less than other woods, doesn’t warp or twist, gives off no odor or taste or 
color, it holds paint better, and it has a positive affinity for hot liquids—steam- 
ing, hot or boiling hot, it doesn’t matter—the hotter the better. 

The adaptability of this wood for the various kinds of tanks used by Tan- 
ners, Paper Makers, Cider and Vinegar Manufacturers, and others, and some 
general information about such tanks is set forth in an illustrated booklet that 
we are just preparing and which will be sent toany oneon request. This booklet 
also gives “‘ Specifications in detail of the Very Best in Wooden Tank Construc- 
tion,” which will prove of interest and value to Engineers and Architects and to 
those users of tanks who want nothing but first-class work. 

Our tank towers are of four kinds, which are described in the following 
pages. We have been building these structures for a great many years, and 
have hundreds in use. While our towers are of such simple design that any car- 
penter or mechanic of only ordinary ability, can erect them, (and this is true of 
our steel towers as well as the wood) yet, where desired, we contract to erect 
them, and furnish the outfit complete ready for use. 

Weare always glad to supply intending purchasers with detailed plans and 
specifications of these structures, and the names of customers in their immediate 
vicinity that have our outfits in use. We also issue a booklet of testimonial let- 
ters from some of the largest concerns in the country, and it is worthy of note 
that a number of these letters refer to the towers having passed through cyclones 
without injury—which unroofed buildings, blew down chimneys and smoke 
stacks and uprooted trees,—as strong a proof as could be desired of the strength 
and stability of our work in this line. 

In addition to wooden tanks we also build steel and galvanized iron tanks 
of all sizes, having a shop equipped especially for this purpose. We give a list 
of sizes and prices of the galvanized tanks. ‘We have no list of the plain steel 
tanks, but will quote on any sizes upon application.

CYPRESS LUMBER 


FROM THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN 
of December, 1891: 


‘sCypress timber, owing to its beautiful finish and durability and 
lightness, has long been in favor in the Gulf Coast. States, and is fast grow- 
ing in favor in the more Northern States, especially among those who haye 
tested and know its many good qualities. 

‘‘Cypress is especially adapted to BUILDING TANKS, TUBS, and VATS, 
and when used for such purposes IT NEVER WILL DECAY. 

‘¢ It also makes better Sash, Doors, Blinds and Frames than White Pine, 
and many Railroads use it for Water Tanks. It stands the weather 
better than White Pine ; does not WARP or TWIST, and does not SHRINK 
or SWELL. x 

‘‘NO LUMBER in the WORLD equals it for Tanks, Vats, Siding or 
Weather Boards, Exposed Floors or Shingles. Siding can be used and not 
painted, and will last fifty years. 

‘¢The DURABILITY of CYPRESS is illustrated by the examples of 
ROOFS in Mobile and New Orleans in good order laid SIXTY YEARS 
2go.’’ . 


FROM THE TRADESMAN 


of January, 1899: 

- **'The VALUE of VARIOUS WOODS for TANKS has been discussed to 
its capacity by people of experience, both past and present, and so thorough 
have these discussions been that the information gained has proved of 
advantage, not only to the manufacturer, but the buyer as well. The 
woods more commonly used are pine, poplar, redwood, cedar and CY- 
PRESS. COMPARISONS AND TESTS ARE STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF 
LOUISIANA GULF CYPRESS.’’ 


SEVEN REASONS 


Why Cypress Lumber is the Best Wood for Tanks: 


FIRST. It will last for ages without decay. 

SECOND. It is the only wood impervious to acids. 

THIRD. Itis not injuriously affected by the action of hot water. 
FOURTH. It shrinks and swells less than other woods. 

FIFTH. It warps and twists less than other woods. 


SIXTH. It has not the knots and defects found in White Pine, Cedar 
and other woods. 


SEVENTH. When seasoned, itis lighter than all other woods, assuring 
cheaper transportation.

The above capacities are based on tanks having straight staves, but, unless otherwise ordered 
we usually make them with a slight taper. 

We guarantee the capacities as above to be correct. 

We guarantee the weights given to be correct. 

All tanks in which the depth ends in even feet are only made to order. 

The above prices are based upon tanks made of 2 inch material. To find the list prices of tanks 
made of 244 inch material, add 40 per cent. to above list; and add 60 per cent. to the list above to find 
the list prices of tanks made of 3 inch material. Also add 35 per cent. and 70 per cent. respectively 
to weights given of 2 inch tanks to ascertain the weights of 244 and 3 inch. 

OTE.—Although our lists are based on 2/ we recommend 134” Red Cypress as being ample in 
acho ied for tanks 8x8 and under, in the manner we hoop them. This makes a very cheap tank and 
g one.

The above capacities are based on tanks having straight staves, but unless otherwise ordered, 
we usually make them with a slight taper. 

We guarantee the capacities as above to be correct. 

We guarantee weights given to be correct. 

All tanks in which the depth ends in even half feet are only made to order. 

The above prices are based upon tanks made of 2-inch material. To find the list prices of tanks 
made of 244-inch material, add 40 per cent. to above lists; and add 60 per cent. to the lists above to 
find the list prices of tanks made of 3-inch material. Also add 35 per cent. and 70 per cent. respect- 
ively, to weights given of 2-inch tanks, to ascertain the weights of 244 and 3-inch. 

NOTE.—Although our lists are based on 2”, we recommend 114” Red Cypress as being ample in 
thickness for tanks 8x8 and under, in the manner we hoopthem, This makes a very cheap tank and 
@ good one.

NOTE.—These prices on all tanks up to and including 20 feet in diameter are based on 2-inch 
thick material; all tanks 22 feet in diameter, and over, are based on 38-inch thick material. All 
tanks above 15,000 gallons capacity are ordinarily made of thicker material than 2-inch. However, 
we often make tanks of 25,000 and 30,000 gallon capacity of 2-inch Cypress.

The above capacities are based on tanks having straight staves, but, unless otherwise ordered, 
we usually make them with a slight taper. : ? 
We guarantee the capacities as above to be correct. We guarantee weights given to be correct. 
NOTE.—Although our lists are based on 2-inch, we recommend 14-inch Red Cypress as being 
ample in thickness for tanks 8x8 and under, in the manner we hoop them. This makes a yery 
cheap tank and a good one,

RECTANGULAR TANKS. 


We make Rectangular tanks 
and also Tanks Elliptical in 
form, of any required dimen- 
sions. These tanks are exten- 
sively used in Woolen and Cot- 
ton Mills, Mines, Chemical 
Works, Tin Plate, Nail and Rol- 
ling Mills, Ice Factories, Brew- 
eries, etc., etc., etc. 

Our Rectangular Tanks are 


all thoroughly constructed and || 
finished. Just as much painsis Qi 


taken with the smaller sizes as 
with the larger. They are built 
of dry lumber of proper thick- 
ness; are heavily rodded with 
both horizontal and perpen- 
dicular rods at proper intervals 
(rods being supplied with nuts 
andcast washers that cover large 
surfaces) ; so that the joints in 
sides, ends and bottoms may be 
thoroughly drawn together and 
a water tight tank thereby in- 
sured. 

We generally furnish plain iron 
rods and washers, but we carry a 
stock of both Galvanized Iron and 


Brass Rods, which we can supply 
where required.

SLLOS; 


“One cause which has contributed more than any other toward poor silage 
has been faulty construction of the silo. No matter how good the corn when 
ensilaged nor how carefully and intelligently the silage may be fed, if the silo is 
so constructed that a moldy, sour product results, satisfactory returns from feed- 
ing cannot be secured.” I. P. ROBERTS, 

Director of Cornell College, 


Agricultural and Experimental Station. 


There is no longer any question about the value of Silos, 7/—they are prop- 
erly constructed. Ah! How many farmers would have been saved much peace 
of soul and many hard iron dollars, if they had not stumbled over that if. And 
how many more of you are going to continue falling over it? Can’t you profit by 
other people’s experience, or must you pay for your own before you’re convinced 
that it takes a first-class mechanic with experience in that particular line to 
build such work? Such mechanics as we have, and have had for twenty-five 
years, doing that kind of work every day in the week, every hour in the day. 

And aside from having your Silo properly built, which also means properly 
hooped and with the proper foundation to support it, (plan of which we furnish 
you) don’t you know the success of your Silo depends largely upon the wood it is 
made of? Weuse nothing but Cypress in ours—the genuine simon-pure-Louisi~ 
ana Red Cypress. That’s the only wood to use if you want the Best. If you 
don’t, then we can’t interest you for we don’t supply anything but the very best. 
But you'll make a mistake to consider anything else. You may save a little 
money at first, but think—if built of Louisiana Red Cypress—the best quality, 
remember—you get a Silo that will outlast two of any other kind, and it costs 
you a mighty little more than something inferior. You must not forget, either, 
the additional cost is only for the wood in the Silo—the hoops cost no more—nor 
the doors nor the cover—nothing is added to the freight, or foundations or erection. 

See how it figures. Say the lumber costs as much as twenty per cent more; 
by the time these other items are figured in, your complete Silo wouldn’t figure 
to cost above ten per cent or maybe five more. Then you have a Silo that willl - 
last at a low estimate fifty per cent longer. Isn’t that a-plain—-open and shut. 
proposition? If you’re at all skeptical about Louisiana Red Cypress being so 
much better than other woods, remember that we have convinced many others; 
that are just as close and careful buyers as you are, and we’ll give you their names 


if you want them. 


W. E. CALDWELL CO., LOUISVILLE, KY. 11 


We furnish Silos of any diameter and any height 
wanted. Above twenty feet the staves are in two 
lengths. The staves butt together with a wide flat 
hoop to cover the joint. The door frames are made 
of cast iron and on the proper circle to fit the outside 
of the silo. The doors are made of the stave material 
beveled to suit. We furnish gasket material to go 
around each door and frame to hermetically seal all 
crevices in order to exclude the air. The same gas- 
ket material is used under the wide flat hoop which 
covers the joint or splices of the staves when over 20 
feet in height. 

The hoops are round and are furnished in two or 
more pieces according to the diameter of the silo, 
with suitable adjustable lug fasteners. Sufficient 
hoops are furnished so that there is a factor of five to 
one for safety. Galvanized staples are supplied to 
hold the hoops in place when the silo is empty, 
though’Cypress shrinks so little that there is never 
very much slack on the hoops. 

We also supply circled segment pieces to fit 
against the inside of the silo at the bottom to set the 


Iron ladders and also covers are furnished where desired. 

The capacities are given in tons, based on fifty cubic feet of space to one ton. 
For the benefit of those without experience of feeding ensilage, we will say that 
forty to fifty pounds of ensilage is usually considered a liberal allowance per 
day for a 1,000 pound milk cow. On this basis it would take about three and one 
half tons of ensilaye for each cow for one winters feeding of six months dura- 
tion. The amount required for other stock can be estimated from this. In de- 
termining the capacity of your silo allowance should be made for the settling of 
the ensilage, which is generally calculated at one-fourth of the height of the silo,

FIRE PROTECTION AND WATER SUPPLY 


FOR 


‘MANUFACTURING PLANTS 


The outfit we illustrate on opposite page of catalogue is similar to hundreds which 
we have furnished for use all over the country, both for independent fire protection 
systems and in connection with automatic sprinkler equipments. The saving in cost of 
insurance accomplished by the installation of such an outfit is so great that hundreds of 
mills and factories are addea each yezr to the thousands already so equipped. This is 
particularly the case with outfits put in for use in connection with sprinkler systems. 

When the sprinkler people guarantee, by putting in their equipment, to secure such 
a reduction in your premium raies (from the very best companies) as will pay for the 
investment in four or five years, the reason for this is readily apparent. 

We don’t sell or install automatic sprinklers, but we manufacture tanks and towers 
for use in connection with them ; one of the iron clad requirements of the insurance com- 
panies being that two sources of supply for the sprinklers must be provided, and one of 
these is almost invariably an elevated tank. The bottom of this tank must be 15 feet 
above the highest sprinkler head in the plant, so that ordinarily a tower of considerable 
height is necessary to give sufficient elevation to the tank. The tank support or tower 
is nearly always erected above the ground where space will permit, as this plan has many 
advantages over that of erecting it on the building. Even where the walls of the build- 
ing, and the foundations under them, are strong enough to carry the load, very long and 
heavy beams must generally be used to give a support to one or more legs of the tower, 
and these, with the heavy iron plates to go under them and the masonry work usually 
required to level up and prepare the walls, ordinarly makes such an outfit cost nearly as 
much as one built up from the ground—except where there are T walls on which the Tower 
can be supported. Then we can supply a3 column or triangular tower to rest directly 
on the wall, so that the expensive beams mentioned above are not required. But it 

“should not be forgotten that with either style of tower any accident to the building means 
the collapse of the tank and tank support, and a very serious loss that would be avoided 
if the tower were erected apart from the building. 

Sometimes, a brick tower, for the special purpose of providing a support for the tank, 
forms a part of the building, when, of course, nothing more than the timbers or I beams, 
on which the tank bottom is to rest, is required. In such cases we furnish either the work 
complete or the tank only. 

We make 2, specialty of this work in all its different phases, and our knowledge of 
this subject is so thorough, and our experience in the business so extended, that we can 
quite often help a customer with valuable suggestions as to the best plan for him to follow. 
We have testimonial letters from dozens of the leading firms in as many different lines of 
business, who will testify to the economy of such a system and the thorough reliability of 
our work, and shall be glad to refer any prospective customer to these firms, though the 
fact that our outfits are both endorsed and recommended by the principal insurance com- 
panies and the leading automatic sprinkler concerns is about as conclusive evidence on this 
point as could be desired. 

State your requirements and write for prices and plans, and remember we build both 
tanks and towers of either iron or wood.

WATER WORKS SYSTEMS 


FOR COUNTRY HOMES. 


The immense strides that have been made in the industrial and 
mechanical arts in the past few years have made it possible for the man of 
only moderate means to have a Country Home with all the conveniences 
and comforts of the City and none of its disadvantages. And the accessions 
to the ranks of those who dwell in the country for at least a part of the year 
are, therefore, constantly becoming more and more numerous. 

The question of water supply, of course, is one of the important problems 
to be solved as there is nothing else quite so essential and indispensable as 
plenty of water. And in the majority of cases a water system can be put in ~ 
at a very small cost that will be equal in efficiency to that furnished by a 
city. The usual system consists of a tank elevated on a tower high enough 
to give sufficient pressure to force the water to the top floors, and generally 
enough for fire protection besides ;—the motive power generally being 
supplied by a wind mill, gas or hot air engine. 

An outfit of this kind is illustrated upon the opposite page, a wind mill 
being used in this case to drive the pump which is located in the well 
directly beneath the tank. 

We also furnish gas engines (of our own construction) where wind mills 
are not considered suitable... 

Attention is called to the handsome appearance of this Caldwell Outfit, 
which, next to the strength and stability of the structure, is of prime 
importance in an outfit that is to be erected on grounds on which a good 
deal, of money has often been spent to beautify them. 

We put these systems in complete or furnish the outfits ready to erect, 


as preferred. The latter plan is the one usually adopted.

PATENT SECTIONAL, ROUND COL- m 
UMN, STEEL TOWERS. 


This cut illustrates our 4-column Patent 
Steel Tower, which we build in sections, 
suitable to support Tanks of dimensions ZALMAN 
up to and including 20 feet in diameter Vill li ry 
and of 40,000 gallons capacity. Ti iT ana 

These Towers are strong, durable and - 
attractive in appearance, and cost much finn 
less than Steel or Iron Towers of any other : 
design, and, when Durability and ANN Se 
Strength are considered, they are Lin 
MUCH CHEAPER than any All Wooden 
Structures. 

This style of Tower is used extensively 
in connection with Automatie Sprink- 
ler Plants for protection against fire in 
mills, factories and other large buildings, 
as whenever a large storage of water is kept 
on hand, elevated and ready for use, it 
greatly reduces the fire risk and 
consequently lessens the cost of in- 
surance. They are also largely used 
by gardeners and florists for irrigation, 
and also for water supplies for small vil- 
lages and private grounds. 

They arestrong, durable and neat 
in design, and, as they are built in short 
sections, and each section is set up in- 
dependently and finished before be- 
ginning to set up the next section, 
thus making a scaffolding for each suc- 
ceeding section, the werk of erection is 
therefore easily and cheaply executed. 

The iron joint connections are made on 
angles such as will fit the columns when 
cut off square on each end and inserted 
into sockets in the iron couplings. It is 
ali strongly bound together with angle 
brace rods, as shown in the cut, and all 
rods are provided with turn buckles for 
securing proper tension. 

When desired, we furnish the iron work 
alone for these towers with a detailed 
plan and bill of material by which the 
customer may himself supply the timbers 
that form a support for the tank at top of 
tower.

SS ih 
Tower Costs Less Than 
Our Round Column 
Tower. 


WRITE FOR DISCOUNTS. 


Our letters patent on this 
tower, and also our Round 
Column Tower on the pre- 
ceding pages, cover a tower 
built of novel design, in sec- 
tions, simple in shop con- 
struction, easily erected, and 
having as few parts as is pos- 
sible consistent with strength 
and symmetry. As we manu- 
facture them of all sizes in 
duplicate, which no other 
concern does (all our plans 
andspecifications being stand- 
ard), and therefore do not have 
the expense of fitting or even 
assembling the different parts 
until they arrive at the place 
of erection, we can necessarily 
furnish these towers at much 
less cost than others who have 
to makea special job of each 
tower they erect. We can du- 
plicate the parts of any tower 
we build upon a few hours’ 
notice. We can also subse- 
quently add additional sec- 
tions at proportional cost, 
which we frequently have oc- 
casion to do, all of which 
could not be done in ordinary 
or special constructions.

THE CALDWELL PATENT SECTIONAL STRUCTUR- 
AL STEEL TOWER. 


In our ‘‘STRUCTURAL STEEL TOWERS,’’ we use angles for the 
upright columns and longitudinal ties or struts, instead of Round Sections. 
In other respects this structure is just like the ‘*‘ TUBULAR COLUMN ”’ 
Steel Towers illustrated on preceding pages, that we have been building for 
so many years. ‘The demand for a steel tower that would be a little 
cheaper than our regular Tubular column tower has induced us to put the 
Structural Tower on the market, and it has been received with great favor. 
It can be built for less money than the Tubular column tower simply be- 
cause angles are at present lesscostly. The weight of columns, braces and 
connections used in this tower are fully equal in value to those employed in 
our Tubular column tower, and the structure is just as strong and substan- 
tial and as well designed in all of its parts. In fact, there is no difference 
between the two towers, except that angle columns are used in the one and 
Tubular columns in the other. Both are built in short sections; both have 
round brace rods to provide for wind resistance, with turnbuckles to secure 
proper tension; and both have iron socket joint connections to bind the 
sections together. This last feature (which we have patented) is of special 
importance, as it gives greater strength to the structure and makes the cost 
of erection 75 per cent. less than where the columns and braces have to be 
riveted up like bridge work, which is necessary with other types of steel 
towers, and this enables a customer to have the erection done by local 
workmen, instead of requiring him to secure ‘‘ expert mechanics ’’ from the 
manufacturer. 

Any ordinary carpenter is all the ‘‘expert mechanic ’’ required to erect 
either this or our other steel tower, and he would need only two common 
laborers as assistants on the smaller structures, and not more than two or 
three on the very largest. The short sections in which the tower is built, 
thus making the pieces easy to handle, and the fact that each section is set 
up independently, thus affording a platform from which the next section 
above can be erected, materially reduce the cost of putting up this-style of 
tower. 

We are glad to advise a customer as to what he should be able to get 
any particular outfit erected for, and, where desired, will make an estimate 
for doing the work ourselves. 

We construct this style of tower with four columns for tanks of 40,000 
gallons and less, and with twelve columns for larger tanks up to 100,000 
gallons capacity, and in regular heights ranging from fifteen to one hun- 
dred feet. Towers above one hundred feet in height can be furnished, but 
are rarely required. 

We furnish these towers with either timber or steel I-beam foundation 
under the tank and with either wood or steel tanks. Where desired, we 
supply the frame work of the towers and let the customer furnish the tim- 
bers or I-beams for support of tank, our plans showing just what is required. 

A Detailed Plan and Bill of Material, showing exactly how the tower 
goes together, is furnished with each structure, as well as Plans and Speci- 
fications for preparing the foundation. 

The list prices are the same as for our pipe column towers.

Dear Sirs: 
About four years ago our City purchased from your 
Company an 87 foot Steel Water Tower and 65,000 gallon Tank which now 
forms a part of our City water system. On the second day of July,1900, 
@ cyclone unroofed our City Hall, hurling a large portion of the roof 
against the Steel Tower striking it at the second section from the 
bottom. The portion of the roof striking the Tower was smashed into 
kindling wood, a large timber about ten inches square being broken in 
two where it struck one of the tubular uprights. Nevertheless the 
Tower was not moved from its base in the least, nor thrown out of line in 
any Way, the damage to it being but slight. The Tower is strongly con- 
structed, pleasing in appearance, and the people here believe it to be 
the best one an the market. 
Very truly yours, 


ae € Cx 


Mayor.

WATER WORKS. 


The adaptability of the elevated tank system for water works for small 


cities, towns and villages, of a population of 25,000 and less, has long been 
recognized, and for this purpose there is nothing else equal to our Patent 
Sectional Steel Tower with either a Cypress or Steel Tank. Such an 
outfit makes a handsome appearance, will last indefinitely, and is certain to 
give the best of satisfaction, as hundreds of our customers will testify. 

We make a specialty of furnishing water works jobs, and are pleased 
to give any information in this connection desired by towns purposing to 
install complete water works, or outfits for fire protection only.

Special Combined Wood 
and Iron Towers. 


This Combined Wood and Iron 
Tower is designed so as to do away 
with the features that have always 
made a wooden tower so objec- 
tionable; thatis, there are no mor- 
tises and tenons to impair the 
strength of the structure, nor any 
brace seats or openings to collect 
water. These have always been 
the weak points in a wooden tower, 
especially the last named, as, of 
course, where the water could 
lodge in the sockets or brace seats 
it was a question of only a short 
time until the timber would rot 
out and give way; and an elimina- 
tion of these objectionable features 
makes the durability of our Com- 
bined Wood and Iron Towers fully 
fifty per cent. greater than that of 
any wood tower yet designed. Of 
course, with no notches or holesthe 
sutfaces of the tower are smooth 
and unbroken,and can therefore be 
kept thoroughly painted through- 
out. 

It will be seen that the tower is 
built on the same lines in general 
as our Sectional Steel Pipe Tower, 
the only difference being that 
wooden, instead of steel, columns 
and struts are used. The sway 
bracing is of iron, the same as in 
our steel tower, and we employ 
cast-iron connections to receive 
the struts or longitudinal ties 
which bind the sections together. 
We also retain another distinctive 
feature that has made our Sectional 
Steel Tower so successful which is 
the short sections in which it is 


built, which minimizes the cost of ]// 


erection. 
The tower will be found in every 
way fully deserving of the claim we 


make for it, that it is as much su- | 


perior to any wooden 
tower as our standard 
Patented Steel Towers 
are to the ordinary light 
iron or galvanized steel 
towets with scarcely no 
factor of safety that are 
so often palmed offas first 
class constructions.

heart timber and with joints 
well made, all mortises and 
brace seats being so formed 
that no water can lodge in 
them. It is thoroughly tied 
together with heavy angle rods 
and cast-iron washers and heavy 
cast plates at top of columns, 
which provides for nearly

Our ability as engineers and our long experience in building towers enables us to correctly design these towers, thus saving 


3 or 4 times the cost of the plans and specifications in the outset, and no one can afford to risk leaving this all-important factor to 
even an architect or engineer who has not given special attention to this particular line, let alone ordinary carpenters or builders.

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. 


For the benefit of those concerns that prefer to buiid their own towers 
and are situated so they can do so advantageously, that is, buy the timbers 
required and have them framed for less than they would cost with freight 
added if purchased from us, we would be glad te supply complete working 
plans and bills of material for either our special wood and iron tower illus- 
trated on page 32 or our all wood tower illustrated on page 34. This will 
insure the design of the tower being not only correct (which is, of course, 
of the first and greatest importance), but incomparably superior to the old 
style wooden tower with its defective features mentioned in the comparison 
made elsewhere between our special wood and iron tower and the old style 
wooden tower. 

There is another advantage in using our plans, which is a certainty of 
having no surplus material in the construction. The ordinary run of car- 
penters and mechanics have not the technical knowledge necessary to 
enable them to correctly design a structure of this kind, and, in fact, are 
apt to lose sight of the great weight contained in a comparatively small 
volume of water, 5,000 gallons of which, for instance, weigh 40,000 pounds, 
or more than 20 tons, and 50,000 gallons, more than 200 tons. And tobe 
on the safe side they generally get twenty to twenty-five per cent more 
material in the tower than s required by the best practice, thereby unneces- 
sarily increasing the cost that much to the purchaser. So, the cost of our 
plans is nearly always, many times offset by the cost of material saved when 
the tower is built from our plans. 

Of course, in purchasing the complete tower of us, the customer is 
assured of getting the best material throughout, and material that is 
thoroughly finished, all ready to go together, which naturally relieves him 
of all trouble and worry in this connection, a consideration of nao little 
importance. 

We will also furnish the iron work only of these towers where desired, 
letting the customer supply his own timbers or wood work. Where we do 


this we will make no charge for the plans and bills of material. 


USEFUL INFORMATION—WATER 


Doubling the diameter of a pipe increases its capacity four times. Friction of liquids in pipes 
increases as the square of the velocity. 

The mean pressure of the atmosphere is usually estimated at 14.7 lbs. per square inch, so that 
wie Pertort vacuum it will sustain a column of mercury 29.9 inches or a column of water 33.9 

eet high. 

To" find the pressure in pounds per square inch of a column of water, multiply the height of the 
column in feet by .434. Approximately, we say that every foot elevation is equal to 44 lb. pressure 
per square inch; this allows for ordinary friction. 

To find the diameter of a pump cylinder to move a given quantity ot water per minute (100 feet of 
piston being the standard of speed), divide the number of gallons by 4, then extract the square root, 
and the product will be the diameter in inches of the pump cylinder. 

To find quantity of water elevated in one minute running at 100 feet of piston speed per minute, 
square the diameter of the water cylinder in inches and multiply by 4. Example: Capacity of a 5- 
inch cylinder is desired. The square of the diameter (5 inches) is 25, which, multiplied by 4, gives 
100, the number of gallons per minute (approximately). 

To find the horse power necessary to elevate water to agiven height, multiply the total weight of 
the water in pounds by the height in feet, and divide the product by 33,000 (an allowance of 25 per 
cent. should be added for water friction, and a further allowance of 25 per cent. for loss in steam 
cylinder). 

a The Oa of the Steam Piston, multiplied by the steam pressure, gives the total amount of pressure 
that can be exerted. The area of the Water Piston, multiplied by the pressure of water per square 
inch, gives the resistance. A margin must be made between the power and resistance to move the 
pistons at the required speed—say from 26 to 40 per cent. according to speed and other conditions. 

To find the capacity of a cylinder in gallons. Multiplying the area in inches by the length of 
stroke in inches will give the total number of cubic inches; divide this amount by 231 (which is the 
cubical contents of a U. S. gallon in inches), and product is the capacity in gallons. 

To find the number of gallonsina Tank, multiply the inside bottom diameter in inches by the in- 
side top diameter in inches, then this product by 34; point oft four figures and the result will be the 
average number of gallons to one inch in depth of the Tank. 


The following table is arranged to show at a glance the equivalent pressure due to columns of 
water from 10 to 400 feet in height. Also more particularly to show the number of gallons of water 
delivered, and the height to which it will be projected through nozzles from one-quarter inch to two 
inches diameter.

The pressure of head water is taken at the nozzle, no allowance being made for friction in the 
pipe. In practical calculations to determine the height to which water can be thrown, the head 
consumed by the friction of the water in flowing from the pump to the nozzle must be considered,
